I know it's a long shot but... I have some graphics files from an old DOS game that I want to convert to a normal .png or whatever. Anyone know of a program that can load binary data and view it multiple different ways? Like treating the raw data as 1 bit, 4 bit, 8 bit, planar, linear, adjust the pitch and offset, etc. in some kind of GUI until you get a recognizable image?
The game reads its graphic files in 512 byte increments at runtime, judging by sysinterals filemon. This gave me a little hope that the graphics are uncompressed even multiples of 512 bytes each. I used python to read the 1st 512 bytes of the file and output it to another file, for experimentation. I wrote a script to read that in and output the high 4 bits as a byte, and the low 4 bits as a subsequent byte, but that image didn't really look like anything recognizable, loading it as raw into Photoshop.
